A rather popular Twitter post has prompted much discussion regarding old and new character designs, causing the emergence of numerous comparison images showcasing the most jarring of transitions and making some marvel at how far art and animation have managed to evolve.

Some of the comparisons courtesy of the original tweet, which range from anime and manga characters to game protagonists and even mascots:

The girl improvements accurately mirror the cancering of kyute-above-all. Not saying it's a bad thing to update following zeitgeist to keep characters relevant, but it pains me seeing entertainment successfull with that as it's selling point alone.

I enjoy cute girls just as much as the next lard arsed shut in lolicon, but thrice rehashed stories of average life bore me to the grave.

how about you stop being so spineless and actually call out a bucket of shit when someone gives it to you to eat! Oda's artwork has gotten worse over the years and he butchered the strawhats after the time skip. Tell your mom to just accept these ballz in her mouth.
